I never thought to bring power tools into the equation. I use sandpaper to shave mine down and that works really well and goes fairly quickly. Possibly faster than this as weird as that sounds. Nice tutorial, I'm glad to see someone else recommending the use of clear nail polish as a protective coating. 😊
That was fun....very informative. Thank you ladies and gentleman. I have tiny ones and I put them on needle threaders. Then I never lose the silly thing! Have a great evening 💖 😺
I kinda want to start a new collection now , and turn them all into needle minders 🤗 Very good information I liked it! Way to go ladies !!! And good job Jerrod on the video ;)
It's really interesting to see how other crafters create! The way I make mine is with sandpaper, or some higher grit emory boards! (Nail.files) Thanks for another great video! ❤🐱
Oooh - is that a quick process? I might want to invest in some for the times when I can't make it to Allison's house before I want the needleminder. Is there such thing as a needle minder emergency lol? -Stephanie
I have a suggestion with the DIY Tool which is similar to an efile (electronic nail file - DO NOT USE A DIY TOOL FOR YOUR NAILS). You can actually use a lower speed, brace your pinky on the table or your other hand, and apply a bit more pressure in a more concise area. If you use a higher speed, the sanding stone will kind of "run away" from you. Maybe watch Nail Career Education's video "E-File Do's ✅ & Don'ts❌ What You Need to Know Learning E-File • Bits Explained" at about the 2 minute mark. I hope you at least try it, and if you don't like it, you can always go back to what works for you. Thanks.
It’s a double magnet that you put on either side of your fabric and it holds your needle for when you need to change threads or just put the needle down for a moment. Keeps me from having needles fall in my lap 😂
🐈 This is just what I was looking for. I have a bunch of pins that I want to turn into needle minders. Now I can.

@CrossStitchtheGlobe It's is surprisingly quick! I didn't want to buy any more tools so I just used what I had laying around! 😅
I’m glad I made it to the frankie appearance
❤️❤️
Thank you for all the good information.🐱
Our pleasure! ❤️
I have been waiting for this video and it did not disappoint. I have sooo many pins. Cannot wait! (Oh and Boomer Sooner).
We are so glad!! ❤️
I just use a pair of wire cutters to clip the post then use a file or dremel to make it even in the back.

Thank you! 😊
May i ask, what exactly is a needle minder?
It’s a double magnet that you put on either side of your fabric and it holds your needle for when you need to change threads or just put the needle down for a moment. Keeps me from having needles fall in my lap 😂
